Description: "Situation Models and Levels of Coherence proposes an integrated view of the various theoretical approaches to discourse comprehension, and in particular of situation-model building, as evidenced by empirical findings and computational models. The objective has been to arrive at an in-depth definition of the internal structure of situation models, and of the cognitive processes that underlie their elaboration, while articulating these two aspects of the reader's mental representations by bringing to the fore the core concept of coherence."--Jacket.
